Any experience with cables by EnKlein or Klee?
Ebm;Sorry; that's what happens when I respond late at night on my iPad....I ramble. I was trying to say that unless you have personal experience in a particular brand of cable, and know what you want to buy used...great. I've not heard any of the ... 
Any experience with cables by EnKlein or Klee?
I wish the stage III's were in my budget. Even the few I see used here on the 'Gon are a bit more than I can spend on a PC. Perhaps if there were in home demos, and I could trust my ears, then perhaps a budget would follow..... But it's too huge a... 
Any experience with cables by EnKlein or Klee?
Thanks Audiolabyrinth. I do have a Tara Labs Gold PC which I enjoy, but it s not long enough to reach my amp. I was amazed on how much better the Enklein Taurus was over the Tara Labs. Before I try to invest more $$$ for expensive cords that are h... 
Any experience with cables by EnKlein or Klee?
Oops, need to correct initial info; I am auditioning their mid level PC, the Taurus, not their entry level cord, Big Tom. It's surprisingly skinny for a quality PC, not like the big hoses I often see, but it produces beautiful music.Still seeking ... 
FMS Audio Cables
Yes, thin and flexible and easy to dress and set up. 
FMS Audio Cables
I also have a full loom of FMS cables, they replaced high end MIT and Purist Audio, and made a significant improvement. Their unique geometry and construction using thin copper wires with great insulation provided an improvement in high end detail... 
Recommend me a warm sounding 5 channel power amp
Parasound A-51 is a killer 5 channel amp; its built like a tank, weights 100 lbs, and has good detail and grip on all channels...I use one for my HT set up; and it delivers all the sound I can hope for. It's only a 'tad' bit warm, but very accurat... 
Hegel h20 h4ase or h30
Unfortunately, no. I love my vac, and owned it prior to getting the Hegel. I have heard the Hegel amp/preamp combo, and it's wonderful. I just like blending a tubed pre with solid state amp, and the vac has both aes and RCA connections, and HT byp... 
Hegel h20 h4ase or h30
Savamy:I agree with Bill. I was able to have an in home demo with the Hegel amp; immediately it bested the pair of Bryston 28sst's I had driving my speakers; with 1000 watts per side. As you know; its not the number of watts; but their quality and... 
Hegel h20 h4ase or h30
I have a Hegel H-30 paired with a VAC tubed pre amp; and love the combination; great sonic density; sound stage, details, fast and accurate. Very good low end; and crystal clear high's. I listen to jazz, vocals, some popular groups; and little to ... 
Opinions - Best Sound at T.H.E. Newport 2013 Show?
Any thoughts on the venture room? I thought this years smaller model sounded better than biggest model last year. I also liked the small Rockports , and rooms playing DSD downloads. Small evolution acoustics sounded good to me too. 
Wadia news
I thought Wadia also acquired Qsonix, then closed that line also. They have good technology, sorry to see them leave the stage.... 
DSD for PC
JRiver handles it beautifully. I use it with windows 8 laptop, into my Playback Design P5sd dac. Best sound I've gotten from my rig, the 2xDSD up conversion is areal digital game changer for me. Love my PD dac too 
Hegel H300
I own a Hegel H-30 amplifier, using it as a stereo amp driving a pair of Venture speakers; it replaced a pair of Bryston 28sst squares, and it is a much better amp. I have all the detail; bass, slam, sound stage, and detail...I leave it on 24/7; a... 
Any ideas regarding Diagonal room set up?
go look at my system as posted on 'Ever Evolving'...I have same situation as you describe; and I feel the sound is pretty good; with nice staging; depth and detail. Very good base response; the left side of my room is a bit brighter than the right...
